The Harmonic Pedal
For the first time since the invention of the sostenuto pedal, there is a new pedal, the Harmonic Pedal offering an increased spectrum of expressive sound-colours to the modern acoustic piano. Pedal fully pressed: On key release, the notes are not dampened, as in the classical damper pedal. Pedal half pressed: All dampers are raised from the strings. Only dampers associated with released keys return to strings of those notes alone. When the Harmonic Pedal is half pressed - all strings associated with un-played notes remain un-dampened, allowing for the first time their "sympathetic" harmonic relationship to played notes to be clearly heard and importantly, precisely controlled.
Wendl and Lung
The Wendl & Lung brand started in 1910 as a collaboration between Stefan Lung and Johann Wendl in Vienna, Austria. In 2003 pianos bearing the brand Wendl & Lung started to be produced in the Ningbo Hailun Musical Instruments Co. Ltd. in Ningbo, China. Various technical innovations, such as a double repeat mechanism and a harmonic pedal have been introduced in collaboration with other piano technicians. In 2010, the companies Feurich and Wendl & Lung of Vienna merged
